Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2014, Pierre Rovani, Oct 2002
Boasting 98 grams of residual sugar per liter, the 2000 Riesling Schlossberg Vendanges Tardives displays chamomile tea, floral, and mineral-laced aromas. Medium to full-bodied, this fat wine has Selection de Grains Nobles levels of richness. It is loaded with super-ripe jellied pears and apples. Projected maturity: Now-2014. According to Laurence Faller, this highly regarded estate's winemaker, "unquestionably 2000 must be considered one of the finest vintages of the last decade. It reminds me of 1998 but with more botrytis, yet not too much." Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
